Behind TEXT_TO_SQL_REACT=true, a fresh question goes to a tool-calling agent
instead of the fixed pipeline. It starts with no schema and uses three tools:
retrieve (search tables, columns, attributes, terms and analyses), run_sql
(check a query against the catalog and run it) and submit.
- The system prompt carries the dialect rules the fixed writer uses.
- Model calls retry on throttling and server errors (invoke_with_retry).
- retrieve output: new tables first, then join paths, then definitions;
repeated lines are dropped, attribute lines name their table, and a block
that does not fit the limit is skipped rather than cutting the rest.
- Budgets (tool calls, SQL runs, observation size) come from env vars.
Warehouses keep tables with nearly the same columns (current and history,
full and filtered, the same feed loaded twice), and a query on the wrong copy
runs and returns plausible rows. retrieve now compares every new table it shows
with the rest of the catalog by column names and adds a line per close match:
SIMILAR dw.ACADEMIC_TERMS (144 rows) ~ dw.ACADEMIC_TERMS_ALL (300 rows):
20 shared columns; only dw.ACADEMIC_TERMS has ...; ...
- A match shares at least 3 columns and half of all columns, or 80% of the
narrower table's columns when the two are of similar width.
- Row counts are exact, counted once per episode.
- Each pair is named once per episode; the prompt asks the agent to compare
the copies with run_sql before choosing one.
- New DAL reader fetch_table_column_names; TEXT_TO_SQL_REACT_SIBLINGS=false
turns the lines off.
fetch_tables_by_ids read only a table's own description, which semantic
compile leaves empty: table descriptions live on the Term the table
represents. So every table the ReAct retrieve tool showed (and every table
the candidate back-fill decorated) came without one, though 95 of 97 BEAVER dw
tables have a description through their Term. It now reads
table_description_expr, the own-then-Term fallback other readers already use.
Also records fetch_table_column_names in the DAL surface snapshot.
Tool calls 12 -> 24, run_sql calls 6 -> 10, observation cap 4,000 -> 8,000 characters. Each is still overridable through its TEXT_TO_SQL_REACT_* variable.
A warehouse migrated between systems often keeps both copies of its tables,
told apart only by a name prefix (OLD_ROOMS beside NEW_ROOMS). Semantic FK
resolution matches on names, descriptions and values, so it can link a table
to the other copy's twin, and join paths built from that edge mix the two.
A new compile stage, run after semantic FK resolution, finds such families
and fixes the edges that cross them:
- Two prefixes form a family pair when at least 3 tables match by name after
the prefix and share half their columns (prefix-stripped). History tables
(*_HIST) are never twins.
- An edge from one family into the other moves to the same column of the
target's twin in the source's family, when that column holds at least as
many of the source's values; the moved edge becomes the join default.
- Otherwise the edge is dropped, including when the twin is the source table
itself, which semantic FK resolution never links either.
On BEAVER dw this finds one pair with 6 twins: of 3 crossing edges, 1 moved
and 2 dropped.
Results are compared row for row with the expected answer, so an extra column -- an id, a helper count -- fails a query that is otherwise right. The task's own prompt says the same, but the ReAct agent writes its own system prompt and never sees it.
Table and column search text was built at ingest, before the semantic
layer exists, so it held only names, types and samples. ReAct's retrieve
found meaning only through Term and ColumnAttribute hits and then mapped
them back to tables and columns.
The search text now carries what the semantic layer knows: a column gets
its attribute's name, description (or suggestion), term and term synonyms,
plus its format, uniqueness and semantic FK target; a table gets its
term's name, description and synonyms and its primary key. Semantic
compilation re-embeds every table and column of the database once FKs and
table families are settled.
retrieve now searches tables and columns in the data collection, and only
SQL attributes and analyses in the semantic one. Terms and column
attributes are no longer searched; join routes and "references" lines are
unchanged, since they read the FK edges directly.
Every question now goes to the ReAct agent, then to format_and_respond
when it submits SQL or to unconstructable_sql_response when it does not.
The fixed pipeline it replaced is removed: evidence refinement, question
intent, candidate preparation, SQL generation and reconstruction, the
value/parse/join/JSONB checks, the information agent, Kumo prediction,
full-pipeline retry, the deterministic SQL fallback, and the
TEXT_TO_SQL_REACT switch.
The two graphs that were left (text-to-SQL and entity coverage) ran a
fixed sequence with no reducers, loops or checkpoints, so they are now
plain Python runners in pipeline.py, and langgraph is no longer a
dependency. Stream events to the chat server are unchanged.
Interactive debug and wrong-results turns now rerun the agent from the
start instead of resuming at reconstruction. custom_prompts, acronyms,
sql_examples, value_anchors and prediction are still accepted in the
payload but are not read.
… agent
The clean branch dropped the Kumo branch along with the fixed pipeline, so
the chat API's prediction flag was accepted and ignored. Kumo is now a
ReAct tool rather than a separate graph:
- prediction=true offers retrieve and predict, false offers the SQL tools,
and unset offers both when KUMO_RFM_API_URL is configured. Forcing a
prediction without Kumo configured is refused up front, as before.
- predict builds the graph over the tables retrieve has shown, linked with
the catalog joins retrieve already looks up, plus any table the PQL
examples name, then calls build_prediction_context and run_prediction
with the user's question. A prediction is the final answer, in the same
response shape as before; a refused build goes back to the model, and is
the user's answer if the episode ends without one.
- Interactive mode passes prediction=false, keeping it SQL-only.
- Episode modes and tool names are StrEnums.
retrieve now searches Terms, ColumnAttributes, SqlAttributes and
CustomAnalyses, and still answers with the same table blocks, joins and
semantic FKs. A Term hit brings in the tables it represents, an attribute
hit brings in its column's table with that column marked. Table headers
show their [Term] and column lines their [attribute].
Tables and columns the semantic layer does not describe, such as foreign
keys and link tables, are searched in the data collection, and only the
hits no Term or attribute covers are kept.
The kinds are now term, attribute, definition and analysis, and the tool
description and system prompt say retrieve searches the semantic layer.
Term and ColumnAttribute embeddings are richer:
- A Term is embedded like a table: term, synonyms, description, then
database, schema, table, table description and its attributes. A Term
over several tables lists each table and says which table each
attribute is on.
- A ColumnAttribute is embedded as a sentence: the attribute and its Term,
the column and table it represents, its description, and the column's
own description, data type, format, uniqueness and sample values, with
no samples or format repeated.
This reverts 7d69950: Table and Column embeddings no longer carry their
term and attribute text, and are not re-embedded after compile.
Retriever.query embeds the query before it searches, and only the
entity-coverage search retried that call. Semantic FK resolution and the
ReAct retrieve called Retriever.query directly, so one embedding timeout
dropped the column or the search.
The retry now lives in Retriever.query: up to three attempts with backoff
on a timeout, a dropped connection or a 5xx/408/429. Other errors, such as
a bad key, still raise at once. semantic_search calls it directly, so a
dead endpoint is still tried three times, not nine.
Table and Column rows are embedded at ingest, before any Term or attribute
exists, so on a database without metadata descriptions they carried bare
names. A table with no Term, such as a bridge, and a column with no
attribute or resolved foreign key had no description anywhere.
A last compilation step fixes both:
- What has no description from any source is written by the LLM, one call
per table, using the columns, sample values, foreign-key targets and any
bridge SqlAttribute. It is saved on the catalog only where the table or
column has no description of its own.
- Every Table and Column row of the database is then re-embedded. A table
reads its Term's description when it has none, a column its attribute's
or the one its foreign key points at, and a foreign-key column also names
the schema.table.column it references.
Table headers no longer carry their [Term] and column lines their
[attribute]. The names made every table block longer, so fewer tables
fit in the observation limit, and the attribute names already live in
the attribute embeddings the search runs on.
fetch_tables_by_ids no longer selects term or attribute names, and the
system prompt no longer mentions brackets.
The describe step now writes a Term's description onto each table it
represents, and an attribute's onto its column (or the referenced one's,
for a foreign key), wherever the table or column has no description of
its own. The copy is the node's own from then on, so a later edit to the
Term or attribute does not change it. The LLM still writes only what has
no source, and a description already set is never replaced.
fetch_description_context also returns each node's own description, to
tell a borrowed one from it.
…changes
An attribute's embedding carries its column's description, and a Term's
its table's. Editing a column description now re-embeds the column's
attributes and their Terms along with the column and table; editing a
table description re-embeds the Terms that represent it.
A Term's text leaves out a table description that only repeats the
Term's own, now that tables usually carry a copy of it.
A table block that would push the result past the character limit is shown
short (description plus matched, key and foreign-key columns) instead of
dropped. Tables past the table limit or that still don't fit are named on
an ALSO FOUND line that fits inside the limit; tables already shown earlier
in the conversation are not named again.
This PR replaces LangGraph-based retrieval execution with step pipelines, adds a ReAct text-to-SQL runtime, expands DAL metadata reads for retrieval output, moves embedding retry into Retriever, updates tests to the new step flow, and removes the langgraph dependency and related notices.
Changes: Pipeline migration and retrieval changes
Layer / File(s)
Summary
DAL metadata enrichment auto_ontology/dal/candidates.py, auto_ontology/dal/datasources.py, auto_ontology/dal/sql_fragments.py, auto_ontology/dal/term_families.py, auto_ontology/dal/terms.py, auto_ontology/dal/tests/*, auto_ontology/connectors/clickhouse.py
expand_info now skips Term and ColumnAttribute labels. DAL reads now expose attribute descriptions, distinct values, uniqueness, table descriptions, ordered column names, semantic FK referrers, family tags, and semantic coverage. DAL surface, golden data, and DAL tests were updated for these reads.
Pipeline support and retry shifts auto_ontology/retrieval/entity_coverage/*, auto_ontology/retrieval/data_access/semantic_search.py, auto_ontology/retrieval/interactive/*, auto_ontology/utils/llm_invoke.py, auto_ontology/utils/retriever.py, auto_ontology/utils/model_config.py, auto_ontology/utils/tests/*, auto_ontology/vdb/tests/test_records.py
Entity coverage now uses create_steps() and run(...) instead of a compiled graph. Interactive grounding and SQL generation payload construction were simplified around that pipeline. Semantic search no longer retries around retriever.query; embedding retry logic now lives in Retriever, and invoke_with_retry was added for chat-model calls.
The text-to-SQL entrypoint now runs step events instead of graph events and exports steps instead of app and graph. The request and state types were reduced to the fields still used by the pipeline. Legacy graph-stage agents, probe checks, prompt helpers, and formatting utilities were removed, and LangGraph was removed from dependencies and notice files.
A new ReAct runtime was added. It defines episode modes, prompt selection, tool schemas, per-request tool context, retrieval, SQL execution, grep over saved pages, sibling-table rendering, prediction support, and the ReactSQLAgent step that returns valid_sql, predicted, or unconstructable.
Tests aligned to the new runtime auto_ontology/retrieval/text_to_sql/tests/*, auto_ontology/tests/interactive/*, auto_ontology/tests/test_table_without_columns_validation.py
The tests now target step start/end events, ReAct tools, new state construction, SQL submission rules, prediction routing, grep paging, retrieval rendering, guarded SQL execution, and failure attribution. Tests for removed graph stages, validation agents, prompt builders, and candidate-preparation paths were deleted or reduced.

Merge Risk: High · up to ea8a0
This change replaces the text-to-SQL engine with a tool-using agent. Its SQL safety check can be bypassed: a query that wraps a DELETE, UPDATE, or INSERT in a WITH clause can modify the connected Postgres database, and on DuckDB, table functions can read local files. Changing the default embedding model can also degrade search on existing indexes. These issues should be fixed before merging.
Security architecture risk: High · up to ea8a0
The new execution flow can read information outside the intended data scope. An optional saved-result search feature also permits excessive CPU consumption. Existing access permissions, configuration gates, and process isolation limit—but do not eliminate—these risks.
Retained concerns
High · security · observed: The new exploratory SQL entrypoint does not confine execution to catalogued data. Unnamed relations and globally collected derived names can escape the name checks, while accepted SQL reaches the existing connector authority. With DuckDB, this includes host-file reads under the process's permissions. The previous final-query path required at least one recognized catalog table; that rejection is absent here. Underlying connector privileges predate the PR, and the old catalog check was not a complete authorization boundary either.
Medium · security · observed: When saved-result search is enabled, a generated regular expression is evaluated synchronously over saved rows without a match deadline or bounded-complexity engine. Result clipping, call budgets, and invalid-pattern escaping do not bound backtracking in a valid expression. This introduces a request-driven CPU-exhaustion path. The feature is disabled by default, and existing subprocess isolation limits the immediate failure domain.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — SQL exposure is bounded by the selected connector's effective authority, not merely the retrieved table set. For in-process DuckDB, the retained finding reaches files readable by the execution process. Other users' data, all tenants, or other environments are not established exposure: deployed credentials, mounts, and sandbox restrictions were not supplied. The connector authority itself predates the migration.
inferred — A pathological saved-result search can occupy its execution subprocess and consume host CPU. Separate conversation processes and cancellation provide containment and recovery, so the evidence does not establish an unavoidable service-wide outage. Concurrent requests can nevertheless compete for shared host resources when the feature is enabled.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
observed — The retained sensitive-data path is external question influence over generated SQL, followed by incomplete relation checks, connector execution, and returned result data. The new exploratory caller removes the former recognized-table prerequisite. Counterevidence limits the delta: the previous parser also skipped unresolved relations when another catalog table was recognized, so this is not the first possible use of the underlying file-reading authority.
observed — The retained denial-of-service path passes a generated pattern directly through dispatch into Python regular-expression search over saved result rows. Invalid expressions fall back to escaped text, but valid pathological expressions retain backtracking behavior. The feature gate is off by default.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The read-only proof is incomplete. The SQL guard checks the outer expression type rather than recursively prohibiting state-changing operations. PostgreSQL execution configures a transaction-local statement timeout but does not explicitly mark that transaction read-only. Exact parser acceptance of the deferred data-modifying-CTE case and deployed role permissions remain unresolved; a successful write exploit is not established.
observed — The sibling lookup's database predicate is parameterized, and its consumer performs same-database comparison. With no target and multiple connectors, the new catalog read can still load all database metadata into per-question memory. Neither the query nor the inspected store wrapper adds a caller-identity predicate. This remains an authorization-coverage limitation, not a verified cross-tenant disclosure.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Per-question caches and counters avoid a global mutable episode state. Failed checks do not execute SQL, and failed database execution consumes its exploratory allowance. Final submission executes SQL separately and is exempt from duplicate non-answer suppression. Repetition, interruption, and recovery are therefore safe from persistent side effects only to the extent that execution is genuinely read-only; the deferred write candidate must not be treated as resolved by episode budgets or process replacement.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Make execution confinement independent of name guidance: use least-privileged database identities and engine-enforced read-only sessions, restrict external filesystem and network capabilities where supported, and apply scope-aware validation to nested statements and external relations.
proposed — Keep saved-result search disabled until pattern evaluation has a bounded-complexity implementation or literal-search semantics. Bound work before scanning saved rows rather than relying on output clipping or the surrounding call budget.

Full details: Tests For Backend Behaviour Changes
Explanation
PR #516 (NVIDIA/auto-ontology, author tomer-levin-nv) changes behaviour under auto_ontology/. Examples include the new ReAct agent (retrieval/text_to_sql/react/*), the run_steps pipeline, the retry logic moved into utils/retriever.py and utils/llm_invoke.py, and new DAL functions. The changed-file inventory shows tests were updated or added alongside these changes: - Under auto_ontology/tests/: interactive/test_coordinator.py and interactive/test_grounding.py were modified. test_table_without_columns_validation.py was also modified. - Under other auto_ontology/*/tests/ paths: new tests were added for the ReAct loop, retrieve, run_sql, predict, grep, pipeline, and agent (retrieval/text_to_sql/tests/test_react_*.py, test_pipeline.py). New tests were also added for utils/tests/test_retriever.py. Tests for DAL functions were added or updated in dal/tests/. - Tests for removed code were deleted with that code. The check does not require a particular directory. Its wording names auto_ontology/tests or dev_tools, and the PR updates files in auto_ontology/tests. The new behaviour tests sit in sibling auto_ontology/*/tests directories. Because the behavioural changes have test coverage in this PR, the check passes.
Full details: Migration Accompanies Schema Change
Explanation
The check applies only when auto_ontology/dal/schema.py is modified. I compared the review-scoped refs refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base (8ff3060) and refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/head (ea8a025). The name-status inventory lists 126 changed paths. None is auto_ontology/dal/schema.py, and none is under alembic/. The PR changes auto_ontology/dal/datasources.py, sql_fragments.py, term_families.py, and terms.py, but not the schema module. The check is therefore inapplicable and passes. The PR author is tomer-levin-nv, but this check does not depend on author identity.
Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "Feat/react use exemplars and explore" is a branch-style name, not an imperative summary. It is partially related to the change. The PR adds a ReAct text-to-SQL agent with exploration tools, SQL examples and value anchors (exemplars), and removes the prior LangGraph pipeline. The title names real aspects but omits the main change, which is replacing the graph-based text-to-SQL pipeline with a ReAct agent. It also does not match the repository's imperative commit style.
Resolution
Rewrite the title as a concise imperative summary, for example "Replace text-to-SQL graph with ReAct agent". Remove the branch-style prefix "Feat/". Keep the title free of WIP markers and bare ticket IDs.

by SubmitSQLAction after alignment and submitted-order stabilization, rather
than reading the potentially stale value from path_state["sql_code"]. Record
that submitted SQL separately and use it when pairing the statement with the

an available timeout-capable matching engine or another mechanism that reliably
enforces the limit. Handle a match timeout by returning an error to the model,
not by treating it as an empty result; preserve the existing behavior for

Review comments at @auto_ontology/retrieval/text_to_sql/react/loop.py:
- Line 272: Update the tool-call tracking around `made.add(key)` so failed
`run_sql` or `retrieve` calls are not recorded as completed, and suppress
duplicates only after successful execution in the relevant context; allow an

- Around line 322-323: Update the `kept` assignment in the page-saving flow to
copy the result of `frame.head(config.max_page_rows())` before appending it to

Annotate column to meet the required type-hint rule.
column has no type annotation. The path instruction for auto_ontology/**/*.py requires type hints on all function signatures. Annotate it as a SQLAlchemy FromClause, which covers both Table and aliases. The body uses only column.c.id, so the annotation matches the accepted input.
The surface test records str(inspect.signature(...)) for every DAL function. This change alters the recorded signature for attribute_description_expr. Regenerate auto_ontology/dal/tests/dal_surface.json in the same change with uv run python -m auto_ontology.dal.tests.test_dal_surface.

Use the SQL that step actually submitted.
When numeric alignment is enabled, _align_mixed_numeric_types or _stabilize_submitted_order can change the SQL before SubmitSQLAction returns it. Neither operation updates path_state["sql_code"]. This note then pairs the caller's rejection with a different statement.
Record the final submitted SQL separately and use that value for the previous-attempt note.

Review comment at @auto_ontology/retrieval/interactive/coordinator.py at line 130:
Update the previous-attempt note flow to use the final SQL returned by SubmitSQLAction after alignment and submitted-order stabilization, rather than reading the potentially stale value from path_state["sql_code"]. Record that submitted SQL separately and use it when pairing the statement with the caller’s rejection.

Search complete cell values before truncating their display.
_cell truncates long values. This line then uses those truncated values as the search input. If a saved cell contains a matching suffix beyond that limit, grep reports no match even though the page contains it. Match against complete cell text and apply _cell only when rendering selected rows.

Add -> None to the three fake constructors.
The path instructions for auto_ontology/**/*.py require type hints on all function signatures. This applies to test code too, and no exemption exists. Add -> None to the __init__ methods of FakeCatalog, SQLiteConnector, and ScriptedModel.

Annotate the test stub signatures.
The path rule for auto_ontology/**/*.py requires type hints on all function signatures. Seven nested fake data-access functions lack parameter and return annotations: meaning (line 91), names (95), term_tables (102), expand (112), join_path (117), meaning (400), and coverage (419). CountingConnector.__init__ (line 574) annotates counts but omits the -> None return annotation.
These stubs stand in for the retrieval interfaces the tests exercise. Annotating their signatures documents the contract they must match.

Annotate the signatures of the nested fake data-access functions meaning, names, term_tables, expand, join_path, the second meaning, and coverage with parameter and return types that match the retrieval interfaces they model. Add a None return annotation to CountingConnector.__init__ while preserving its existing counts parameter annotation.

Changing the built-in EMBED_MODEL default can strand existing indexes.
Deployments with an sk- key that do not set EMBED_MODEL now resolve to nvidia/nvidia/nemotron-3-embed-1b. Vectors already stored under nvidia/nvidia/nemotron-3.5-embed-1b-nvfp4 remain in the index. Queries then embed with the new model, and the module docstring at auto_ontology/utils/embedding.py:17-18 states that a mismatch produces incorrect results or a dimension error. Nothing in the inspected VDB or embedding code records the embedding model per index or forces a re-embed when the model changes.
Pin the previous model for existing databases, or require an explicit EMBED_MODEL and a re-embed step before this default takes effect. A persisted model identifier with a check at retrieval time would also resolve this concern.

Review comment at @auto_ontology/utils/model_config.py at line 37:
Update the EMBED_MODEL default so existing indexes continue using the model they were built with; do not silently switch them to the new model. Preserve the previous default for existing databases, or require an explicit model change together with a re-embed before using the new model.
